Kolkata Knight Riders, who have had a good run in Indian Premier League 2016, suffered a jolt after their top-order batsman Manish Pandey was diagnosed with chickenpox ahead of Sunday's clash vs Rising Pune Supergiants.

"He (Pandey) was not feeling well since yesterday and as it turned out he's down with chickenpox. He is here but did not attend the training today," a KKR official said.(IPL Points Table)

Pandey is likely to be ruled out for the next two weeks.

The promising 26-year-old, who bats at the crucial no 3 position, scored a 29-ball 52 against Mumbai Indians in Kolkata this season.

Gambhir-led Kolkata are currently at the top of the IPL points table with three wins from four games.
